Digital Divide

Telecommunications companies are pretty smart here in Italy. I still cannot understand why although my adsl connection monthly fee was raised after 6 months or so it is now slower than ever. I used to watch online videos with no probs but now I get so bored to keep waiting to get stuff loaded that I quit before I start launching the onmipresent videos on the net. Am I getting ripped off? According to Beppe Grillo I am the victim of something called Italian Digital Divide. Have a read to get an idea on how things can get tricky in the world of Telecommunications.
